NIGERIANS & FRAUDLENT CHECKS!! "Job Opportunity - Become Our USA Collection Agent & Earn 10-15%" Legos Other

Like others here in the Ripoff Report, I have been tracking and mis-leading many different Nigerian Scammers for more than 4 years. When contacted, I reply to their e-mail ads for a "Job Opportunity"!

The come on is: "You will work for our company (many alias) and become our Collection Agent in the USA" The ad writer will claim he is the owner of an Art Gallery or a Furniture Company (or some high priced merchandise company) based in the UK, France or other European country that has customers in the USA who want to pay for their purchases with checks or Money Orders.

The ad writer then claims that when an American customer pays for a purchase the checks/Money Orders take many weeks to clear their foreign bank. If they can get them cashed quicker within the USA they will offer a big 10% - 15% commission. The filthy thieving Nigerian wants you run the check through your Bank account, deduct your alleged commission and send the balance via Western Union Moneygram to an address overseas.

When you agree to become their USA "Collection Agent" someone immediately sends you a great big check and/or a Money Order (either by UPS or FedEx) which is either counterfiet or stolen from some USA or Canadian company.

I was sent a stolen Money Order in 2007 issued on a Bank that had merged with another Bank who evidently disposed of their old money order blanks. Somehow the Nigerians got ahold of the old banks Money Order blanks and used them. It was a small amount of only $675.89 but I could have easily cashed it at a Check Cashing Company if I was a filthy crook like these no good Nigerians.

I have been sent checks issued on some really well known companies; the last big one I received from an address in Providence, RI. A man calling himself Mr. Ben Adams (who was suppoosedly a Kellogg's Corporation executive) had issued the check to my name in the amount of $210,597.22 allegedly for a large furniture purchase from an English Company.

When I contacted the security division at Kellogg's in Battle Creek, Michigan they were very happy to hear that I DID NOT cash the check as it most likely would have cleared their bank because the account number was correct - the check obviously had been stolen somehow. Kellogg's was hesitant (probably embarrased) to give me further details.

I must be on the main Nigerian's "Do Not Send" list because so far in 2009 I have not received any offers from these filthy crooks to become a "USA Collection Agent"!

Over the years I have been sent checks in the amounts of $39,786.98 - $108,987.56 - $26,980.11 -$13,987.98 - and the largest in 2006 was $456,543.45 issued on a well known Publishing Companies stolen check. In each case I sent the actual uncashed checks to the individual companies hoping they would prosecute these filthy crooks or at least contact the Secret Service or FBI to gain a prosecusion.

I'm a 70 year old retired former businessman. I have the time to screw around with these filthy, stupid, idiototic, nitwit Nigerians who obviously believe that we Americans are dumber than a box of rocks! To learn more about how to scam the scammers contact me by e-mail at: (((REDACTED)))- I will return all e-mails to those interested in getting back at these crooked, no good, Nigerian jerks. Join me in the fun!

Every time I received a fake/stolen/forged check, I always reported it to the company whos name appeared on the item, mailed the checks to them and then contacted the FBI. The FBI evidently has better things to do than chase after filthy Nigerian Check Scammers because nobody from their office has ever contacted me about this matter.

Anyway, if you want to have some fun for yourself and foil the plans of a Nigerian Check Scammer, offer to become their "Check Collection Agent" and work them over until it costs them a bundle!
